1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

People strive to remain 'human,' even when facing biological traits they see as 'non-characteristic.' Oftentimes, this fundamental drive leads individuals to use technology for self-change and improvement, aiming to realize their authentic sense of self. In this paper, we undertake a discursive, concept-driven inquiry to explore how the pursuit of completeness through body modification influences what it means to 'remain human' and how this, in turn, shapes the future of nursing. Drawing from a posthumanist framework that integrates the philosophies of Braidotti, Deleuze, and Heidegger with the nursing theories of Parse, Locsin, and Boykin & Schoenhofer, we argue that this technological transformation is a profound process of 'becoming.' Our analysis, informed by a purposive review of relevant literature, suggests that in a technology-rich world, nursing faces new opportunities that demand refined practices. To remain relevant, the nursing profession must adapt to these ongoing human transformations by expanding its understanding of personhood and human care.
